The 8 Best Brasov Restaurants-

Bistro de l’Arte

George Enescu Square 11B // 0720 535 566

Located in one of the oldest buildings in Brasov, a former warehouse in fact, Bistro de l’Arte brings their incredible menu to life by focusing on locally sources ingredients.

Some of our favorite selections from a recent dinner were the pasta and seafood dishes, along with vegetarian options such as this cauliflower in a garlic cream sauce.

The roasted duck leg served with crispy pancetta and peas was also amazing.

Bistro de l’Arte also features an impressive wine and craft cocktail menu.

Sub Tâmpa

Aleea Tiberiu Brediceanu // 0740 316 661

When you walk into this gorgeous restaurant seated at the base of Mount Tampa, you’re immediately struck by its modern design.

Specializing in new-Romanian cuisine, Sub Tâmpa reinterprets classic dishes like tripe soup, oxtail, veal sweetbreads, cow tongue, and Rocky Mountain oysters for a fine dining experience.

Rocky Mountain oysters

If you’re not in the mood for tongue or testicles, you can also choose from fresh fish and pasta dishes.

From its location slightly above the city, the restaurant has great views to accompany a bottle of wine from their extensive list. I found the prices surprisingly reasonable for such a gorgeous, upscale restaurant.

L’Etage

Strada Republicii 50 // 0745 328 328

This funky little piano lounge often features live singers and jazz music. Many come for the live piano music, but the menu is impressive as well.

The menu features tempting burgers

and impressive fresh seafood dishes.

my guide said L’Etage is also known for having the best pizza in Brasov. The “best in Romania, best outside of Italy,” he told us.

Trattorian Artisan Food

Piața George Enescu 14-15 // 0772 222 555

Trattorian has a menu so full of amazing choices that making your dinner selection will be difficult. Here you can find steaks and ribs alongside classic Italian dishes.

Some of our favorites were the beef tagilatta

and crusty pizzas.

You also can’t beat their easy to find location!

Terroirs Boutique du Vin

Strada Postăvarului 2 // 0733 539 586

Terroirs has a huge wine selection, but no wine menu. You discuss what you’re looking for with your waiter, and they will make suggestions and pairings based on your meal choices.

You also probably wouldn’t think of a wine bar as a place to go for burgers, but their Australian chef has crafted a huge burger menu. In fact, Terroirs had some of the best burgers we ate in Romania!

Besides burgers, Terroirs also serves incredible grilled meats for all the carnivores. The menu features a huge rack of American style BBQ’d ribs

and perfectly cooked, juicy steaks.

Festival ’39

Strada Republicii 62 // 0743 339 909

Festival ’39’s interior, full of overstuffed leather seats and heavy wood furniture, is meant to replicate an eatery from the late 1930’s. Many nights, the restaurant even hosts a pianist playing live music to further add to the atmosphere.

This intriguing ambiance accompanies a menu full of not only traditional Romanian recipes but international and vegan selections as well.

Some favorite menu items include the roasted pork

and grilled fish dishes.

Trattoria POCOL

Strada Apollonia Hirscher 12 // 0731 606 065

With both an Italian chef and a menu full of ingredients imported directly from Italy, you know Trattoria POCOL is going to be good!

Classic Italian recipes done simply and done well — that’s what you’ll find at POCOL. Be sure to start with a caprese salad while you choose the rest of your order.

Piata Sfatului 14 // 0268 523 099

Gaura Dulce’s rotating daily menu is full of traditional Romanian homestyle recipes at one of the best prices in town — only 19 lei or $4.71 USD!
